The company has teamed up with TransferTo, a provider of international airtime remittance, to facilitate the transfer of prepaid mobile credits.
Xoom vice president of Bill Pay and Mobile Reload Bobby Aitkenhead said: "Our customers can send money to their loved ones, conveniently pay their family’s bills, and send a reload instantly to their mobile phones."
Using the mobile phone number, Xoom and TransferTo’s technology auto detects the carrier in real-time and instantly sends airtime credit to the receiving phone.
Xoom said that the technology securely auto-saves the transaction information, including the mobile number, payment method, and amount sent, enabling repeat transactions to be sent with just two clicks.
